Dairymen everywhere recognize the i'm
poTtance OF providing full supply of the
most nutritious food for their stock during
winter, as well as during the extreme of
the heated term when pasturage is poor.
More silos will be built the present season
than ever before. The usefulness of this
method of preserving fresh supply of the
best food for stock of all kinds has been
proved by repeated tests of several years
duration. John Gould, who has a world
wide reputation as a writer, speaker and
editor of all matters pertaining to the
dairy, thinks at least thousand silos will
be col structed tn is season in Wisconsin,
where he has passed much OF the winter
in attendance on the various
farmers institutes. About fifty were built
last season, but the lessons and experience
Of the past winter have convinced farmers
and dairymen that in no other way can
they reap so great benefit from farms and
diaries as in providing a plentiful supply
OF sweet ensIlage. Mr.. Gould says Hon.
Hiram Smith, whose name is a familiar
household word in Wisconsin ss one of b
most successful dairymen in that State,
win The aid OF e 60O-ton silO, now keeps
1l6 cows on leo acres of cleared land and
sells his butter on yearly contract at so
cents per pound. With or without a silO
by plating good corn the equal of six TO
ten tons of good hay can be obtained from
an acre of gIound.
No reason exists why the dairymen of
this country should not be prosperous If
they live up to their privileges and make
use of the information that is born of ex.
perience and is given free to all by men
who have made tests of years to confirm
the truths they tell.

horses during the thirty months have
been in the Territory, writes a cOrresDo I'd
ent of the North Dakota Times, than | ever
saw in England in nearly as many years.
The question arises, what is the cause?
Some attribute it TO the water, which is
for the most part hard and contains a great
deal of alkaline matter which may perhaps
affect the skin and blood. The dust, too
is very fine and is constantly rising snd
settling on the skin, producing irritation
of the parts where the pressure comes.
am willing to admit most of these reasons,
but consider a great deal of the trouble is
attached to the collars, which are, as a rule,
too light for the draft which is put on
heavy draft is not leatber-faced next to
the horse, but the facing used
is manufactured expressly. and is kind
OF rough cloth, the stuffing consisting of
wooden waste" or shoddy." This forms
a softer padding to meet the horses shout
der. A sweat-pad supplies the place of this
sort of collar, some may say, but
my experience of sweatpsds is that
they generally cause a horse TO
sweat considerably and do not alb
sorb il so readily as cloth or trieZe does.
j have not seen any col ars so stuffed and
faced in my immediate part OF the Terri
tory, and should be glad to learn whether
there is firm of harness makers who turn
out collars on the plan / mention. 1t is
true that these collars will not last-that
is, the facing ind stufing-as long as leath-
er or straw do; but any harness maker can
stitch on fresh fIeizs and fill up with stu fl
ing. The less one puts around horse S
neck the less he will sweat. and excessive
sweating tends to weaken the SKIN. A horse
whose blood is bad and out of sorts. every
one knows, will rub sore quicker than one
in health. / think heavier, better faced
collar is needed.

About hlowing Hay.

III a farmer has very large amount OF
cultivated grass it may be impossible to
cut it all when it is in the best condition.
He may be obliged to let some of it stand
until it is nearly ripe before he can secure
it. He can generally use it to good adj
vantage for feeding to his work horses. If
grass is unusually heavy il is best to cut
and cure it before il lodges, even if it is
not advanced TO perfect blossoms. Grass
and clover that have blown down and been
brought in contact with the ground M axe
very poor hay. The leaves are likely to be-
come moldy and be injurious to stock The
stalks will have q yellow color and disa-
greeable taste. Lodged grass aud clover
are very difficult 10 cut with machine or
8 bsndscy the. They are also hard to cure,
and furnish very poor food after they have
been put into the barn or stack. It is much
easier TO harvest two crops Of grass or clo-
yer that are in an upright position than
one that is blown down, the stalks being
broken and tangled. Now that moving
machines and hOrse-rakes are 10 general
use, the labor Of making hay is light if the
plants that are to be cut are standing in
their natural position.
Rich and tolerably moist land, in favor
able seasons, Will often furnish two crops
Of hay. 1t generally will If il produces a
variety of grasses and cloyers. a rich and
moist soil will produce large and coarse
plants If they are allowed to grow till they
reach maturity, and the hay made from
them will not be Yelished by milch COWS or
young animals IL there are two cuttings
instead of one p large amount of fine and
tender hay can be secured, and will be very
desirable for mich cows and young stock
of every kind. A thick sod Of fine grasses
can be secured by frequent cutting. II q
moving field is 70 be converted into pas
tuTe II is desirable to cut the grass more
- - -
years before the change is made. The hay
IN the British Islands is superior to that
in most parts of this country. chiefly be
cause it is much finer. The climate there
is favorable 70 the growth of grass, but
care is taken to cut it while it is still sweet
and tender. Not nnfTequently a plot OF
grass land is used alternately as pasture
ana moving field. By folio wing this
coure ne sod is made thick and the grass
is very fine.

Changing Crops and Insects.

A Missouri paper says: The reports from
many parts of the country are not as IA
vorable this week as we had hoped to hear
in regard to tie wheat prospect. In many
Localities the chinchbugs are doing much
damage, and some farmers are compelled
TO plow their wheat up and plant it in
corn. Every year this is the case to a
greater or less degree throughout the West.
The wheat crop this year in Jasper County
still promises 70 be three times greater that
last year. But the question arises: How
long will ii be before the chinchbugs take
the entire wheat crops2 Our answer is tia
1t will not take many years If the farmers
continue the suicidal policy that they have
feen doing in Jasper County for years past
In talking with many observing farmers
about this matter, the evidence is cJnclu-
sive that the land where the bugs are doing
the most mischief is ground that has
been used for wheat year after
wear. The soil Is badly worn and
the bugs have increased until the
grounu alive with them. Wheat is their
food evidently. Take this away from them
and they will leave or die out. Give your
wheat lands rest By putting them in
timothy or clover and you will SION be-
come rid of these little pests. One pro-
gressive farmer, in talking on the subj 3ct
in this Office the other day, went 50 far as
to assert that these bugs would prove a
blessing to the farmers OF Jasper County.
They would force the farmers to quit rails
ing wheat, snd turn their attention m
stock raising. That siock-raising psy3 b. t.
ter than wheatgrowiDg is beyond question.
It is sn easier business, surer one, and
with far larger profits. 1t costs great deal
OF money and hard work to raise wheat
successfully, while the work and cost of
Bfock-growing is nominal-nature furnish
ing and doing the most of il. There is no
better country than this for stock, and if
our farmers would make the most of their
opportunities they certainly will see that
rbeir attention must be turned in this di-
Tection

The Rnekuhaat Cron.

This crop has fallen into considerable
discredit among farmers of late years, says
n writer in the Country Gentleman, al
though 1t has been proved by actual ex.
perieDce that buckwheat is one of the most
valuable of grains that can be grown. In
the early history OF agriculture in this
country it assumed an importance in the
eyes of the new settlers that has rarely
been attained and held by any of the other
gains. The principal work Of the farm
era then in the sprisg and fall was to clear
Up new land, and get the forest land in a
tillable state. The best scayenger crop
that could be discovered was buckwheat,
snd as soon as the land thus cleared of
trees and bushes was sufficiently prepared
Tor the reception OF seed, buckwheat wss
scattered broadcast over il. Little was ex-
pected from this first crop, yet in addition

OPPOSED TO BLAINE,
MIR. Gorham Says He Should Not be Nor
inatsd-Shsrman a Leader.

Washington Special.
George G. Gorham, formerly Secretary of
the United States Senate, and pronounced
Republican, expresses the opinion that the
Republican National Convention will
not dare to nominate Blaine.
Blaine, he says, is being whispered
out of the canvass, and does not himself
know what to do. Some of Mr.. Blaines
friends-and Mr.. Gorham is not one of them
think that one of the principle reasons
why be has gone to Europe is because he
wants to break away and let events shape
themselves. The doubts thrown around
the prospects of Republican success in case
of the candidacy of Blaine are what worry
him and his immediate adherents, and this
is what Mr.. Gorham means when he says
he is being whispered out of the canvass.
Mr.. Gorham thinks the Republicans can
elect the next President but to do ii they
must nominate John Sherman. He says
Sherman is about the only great leader the
Republicans have left, and if they don't
nominate him and adopt the principles
laid down in his last two great speeches
the party will cease to exist.
